Someone just passive-aggressively reminded me I could block people on Mastodon, and if I can't adhere to CW requests perhaps I should get off Mastodon. Wow, I've only beeon on the Internet since 1999, Twitter since 2008 and Mastodon last November. I don't know how to block ah? Wah.

these Mastodon HOA people are one kind.

PS: A few days ago, I blew my top when someone told me to CW my food photos. Since food is the way us Malaysians talk to each other on Mastodon, I feel it's really too much they ask me to CW. Since then a few people explained that food can be triggering to people with eating disorders. But then other people say CW can also worsen eating disorders. Apalah you cannot win. Why don't they leave us alone lol. I think i'll just limit my posts to #MakanApaToday and #FediTiam and exclude #Food cos I dah fed up with the HOA* people. This is sad cos I use #Food so we can reach non-Malaysians, but it attracts the hornets. Maybe I use #expatasia instead (someone asked me to include the hashtag so the expats can find these posts)

All of this nonsense makes me glad that we have a "safe" space here on monyet.cc, where we can be completely Malaysian without some reply dude/dudette come and lecture you for melanggar some cultural rule you are not even aware of. I feel more relaxed here. A bit sad. I now understand why Black Twitter never felt comfortable enough in the Fediverse.

*Home Owners Association - people on Mastodon who patrol it to make sure everyone behave and follow rules. Like prefects, but worse.

The difference is, I can finish my feed, in Reddit I could not, but boredom won every time lol.

Yeah that's because reddit shows you posts that even you're not subscribed to, while Lemmy doesn't unless you browse all.

Well, Reddit did not for me, I used Sync for Reddit and never detected this behavior.

Ah right.. I only switched to 3rd party apps at a later time so I was mostly used to the standard experience.

Youtube (& Youtubers) really want us to watch Oppenheimer. Every other video on my feed is about either the atom bomb or th WWII, Japan's conflict specifically.

What is the highest number of upvotes you've personally observed ths daily chat thread having (while still having zero comments)?

Early this morning I saw 7 upvotes and zero comments.

found our jiran: lemmy.my.id
there's a couple more but this is the largest, at 76 users.

I'm surprised Malaysians are the most engaged in the #redditmigration compared to our neighbours. Nobody in Sg made an instance of their own (searched via https://lemmyverse.net).

p.s. maling'd so hard they even claimed the .my 😭

LMAO

msian redditors so terbalik from the microbloggers IE twitter set. That one kalau kena rempuh Elon tmr pun degil stay put. In the meantime Indo twt selamba je set up instances and share news etc. Hari tu i emailed Mkini about my subscription but nak tanya if they're gonna do a fedi account and the answer was such a quick no. Takde consideration to even mirror.

That's so stupid.... It's a truly exemplary First World problem. Maybe those people with eating disorder cam consider blocking posts with that hashtag instead.

Is there any major difference between the offerings at Aeon and Aeon Big? Wanna use my gift cards but only accepted at Big

Generally speaking, Aeon Big's offering is on the lower end in terms of price. They're more comparable to Econsave and NSK in terms of their goods. Aeon is more atas.

just bought a brand new camera, Ricoh GR3x!

My neglected X-Pro 2 and Nikon Z6 are both giving me bombastic side eye now....

idk man i kinda need a lot of cameras. Z6 for me is like an SUV, big, heavy, capable. X-Pro 2 is like an analog sports car neo-retro style. Ricoh GR3x is like a Mazda Miata - small, nimble and is probably all you need.

I pray that Fuji does not release X70 mark 2, later i commit wallet crimes again.

I'm also at the wait and see with iceshrimp. my general pref software-wise here would be hajkey but atm they're committed to being soft fork from firefish because their own dev capacity limits but if iceshrimp devs are legit working on the security issues etc then likely hajkey will move to them imo. Just wish I have enough technical acumen to play around and spin an instance whichever software it is.

@.@ you underestimate a lot of F&B sellers, their profit margin is insane... many have very low operating cost cause they occupy public space and what not.

Most are rich if they could survive the first couple of years. They just live a very modest life.

Most don’t even pay tax, do cash business. Operating illegally without license.
